WARNING
OPERATING THE GRILL:
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the
burners and cooking surfaces of your grill.
• Before cooking on your grill for the rst time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on “HIGH” to burn off
these residual oils.
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
• Prior to each use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces
are at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the
main burner control knobs to the “HIGH” position for 5 to 10 minutes. Close the lid during the preheat
period.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS/GREASE FIRES:
• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique avor of cooking on a gas
grill. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden are-ups may occur. Excessive are-ups can over-
cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive are-ups result from
the build-up of grease in your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the ames. This can
cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm.
• If grease re occurs while lid is open, leave lid open, turn burner knobs to “OFF”, turn off LP cylinder
valve. If possible, relocate food to a different section of cooking grate and allow grease to burn out or
smother the ames with baking soda.
• If grease re occurs while lid is closed, leave lid closed, as a sudden burst of air may increase ames.
Turn burner knobs to “OFF”, turn off LP cylinder valve. Allow grease to burn out.
• Never pour water on a grease re as grease may splatter/spread and could result in bodily injury or
property damage.
• If grease re does not quickly burn out or the re is growing/spreading, use type BC dry chemical re
extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease re is not
possible.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
• Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or
indirectly.
• Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to
evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup/tray.
• Clean grill frequently to minimize grease buildup.
INDIRECT COOKING:
• Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your
food. You can sear meats over a high ame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the
other (unlit) side of the grill.
12
TURNING OFF THE GRILL:
1. Turn off the cylinder valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the “OFF” position.
Note: Turn off LP cylinder rst to prevent gas from being left in the system under pressure.
CAUTION:
• The cylinder valve should always be in the off,
or closed, position when the grill is not in use.
To turn off the cylinder valve,
turn knob clockwise until it stops.
USING OTHER FEATURES OF THE GRILL:
ROTISSERIE COOKING:
• Your grill was pre-drilled from the factory to include mounting holes for a rotisserie (sold separately).
• Read and follow all instructions provided with the rotisserie. Save instructions for future reference.
• When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes:
• In the US: The National Electrical Code – ANSI-NFPA No. 70 – Latest Edition
• In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code – CSA C22.1
• The Rotisserie is equipped with a three pronged plug for your protection against electrical
shock. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3 prong receptacle. Never
cut or remove the grounding plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong receptacle.
• All electrical supply cords should be kept away from water and any hot surfaces of the grill.
• Read instructions on lighting your grill to light the side burner.
• Never close the side burner cover when the burner is lit.
• Use a 10” diameter pot or smaller that does NOT have an extended handle when cooking on the
side burner. Center pot over burner.
• Never place more than 15 pounds on the side burner. The side burner is not constructed to hold
weight exceeding 15 pounds.
• Use caution to avoid bumping grill, side burner or pot to prevent pot from spilling contents
possibly leading to severe burns.
• DO NOT use side burner to deep fry food in oil to avoid dangers associated with oil igniting
creating a very dangerous situation.
WARNING
WARNING
THE SIDE BURNER:
• The side burner can be used to prepare side dishes such as beans, potatoes, corn, or to warm sauces.
• The burner valve can be adjusted from high to low depending upon your cooking demands.
13
WARNING: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain
on the cooking surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.
CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:
• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with wire bristle brush and
then turning burners to HIGH for approximately 5 minutes.
• Make sure coals are completely extinguished and the unit has adequately cooled before cleaning.
• Clean up of the grill after each use is required.
WARNING: DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.
• The heat from the burners will burn off most food/grease residue from grates & heat tents and turn it to an ash like
substance which will fall to the bottom of the rebox or grease tray. After the grill cools (approximately 30 minutes) remove
grates and heat tents and brush the ash and any grease out of the rebox. Clean and replace grease cup. Inspect the
heat tents for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill. (Replacements can be ordered by calling
1-866-212-3150.)
CAUTION: DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on the grease tray or rebox as it could block proper grease
drainage of the grill.
INTERIOR OF GRILL LID:
• Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may ake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with scrub brush and
baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas grill lids are not painted.
MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:
• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
• Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
• Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your grill’s appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe
dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad.
Use only in direction of brushed nish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics. Car wax may
help protect the exterior nish of your grill.
• Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a solution of baking soda
and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for stubborn stains.
• Plastic and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or
a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
RUST:
• Discoloration, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades, grease res and
exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.
• Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to
minimize rusting.
• Never use cleaners containing chlorine or store swimming pool supplies or chemicals in cart compartment as chlorine
promotes rust.
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:
BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner ames for proper operation (see pictorial in “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care and
Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended
periods of storage.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
• Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water and
detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and
replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE:
• Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel,
they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and acids
from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks,
abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found,
replace the burner.
• DO NOT block ventilation areas in back of lid, sides, back or
cart compartment of grill. Do not store objects or materials
inside the grill cart enclosure that would block the ow of
combustible air to the underside of either the control panel or
rebox. Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other
insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent
gas ow to the burners and could result in a burner tube re or
re beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these
instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if
you have trouble igniting the grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
2. Remove cooking grills and heat distribution plates.
3. Remove hitch pin from each burner.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook
to run through each burner tube or use compressed air to blow
into burner tube and out the ame ports. Check each port to
make sure air comes out each hole.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection when using compressed air.
6. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
7. Check burner for damage, if any cracks or holes are
found replace burner.
8. Install burner in grill, orient burners CORRECTLY.
IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.
9. Replace hitch pins on each burner.
Note: Follow the “Gas Leak Testing” section of this
manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation.
10. Replace heat distribution plates and cooking grills.

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
• Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
• Clean all surfaces. Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
• Check and clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of not being
used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder months). Blocked burner
tubes can prevent gas ow to the burners and could result in a burner tube re or re beneath the grill. See “Burner
Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care and Maintenance.
• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.
• Never move a grill when hot or in use.
• Make sure that cylinder valve is closed and burner knobs are in the off position.
• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder ( lled or empty) under or near the grill.
• Never store ammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.
• If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the LP gas
supply cylinder.
• Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
• Cylinders must not be stored in a building or enclosure, including garages and sheds.
• Cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
